Player Inactivity

Forgive me if this is common knowledge:
How long must a player be away from the GC before they are dropped from the Ladder for "inactivity"?

"Players in the Top Twenty must play at least once every 7 days. If a Top Twenty player does not play at least once in a 7-day period, his/her rank will be automatically dropped 2 levels and an inactivity counter will be reset. Such automatic rank reduction is reported as 'rank reduction due to Top Twenty inactivity'.
Players in the Top Twenty are expected to be as active after they reach the top ranks as they were before. If your activity drops considerably once you are in Top Twenty, your rank will be reduced.
Players in the Top Ten must play the rank one level directly below them at least once every 6 days. The Ladder ranking for a Top Ten player will be automatically reduced by 2 levels if within a 6-day period this player does not play with those who rank one level below. Such automatic rank reduction is reported as 'rank reduction due to Top Ten inactivity'."
Thx b1 - I need more info

I am aware of the extracts you have kindly reprinted from the Rules regarding top 10/20 positions.
My question is with regard to players who are removed from the Ladder completely i.e. there records no longer appear on any of the "Standings" categories.

How many games must a top10 player play, presumably against top10 or top20 players, before they are demoted for "top10 inactivity" ?

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
